Federal judge Jed Rakoff, a former prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s office here in New York, is fast becoming a sort of legal hero of our time. He showed that again yesterday when he shat all over the SEC’s latest dirty settlement with serial fraud offender Citigroup, refusing to let the captured regulatory agency sweep yet another case of high-level criminal malfeasance under the rug.

The Next Step →

A recent poll revealed that 67 percent of New Yorkers agree with the views of Occupy Wall Street protesters and that almost three-quarters of them favor a tax on millionaires.

youngl0rds asked: The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said that 78.8 per cent of the 24,000 members that were balloted had voted to go ahead with strike action. Thousands of schools could be closed. In it’s 114-year history the NAHT has never before voted to take strike action. Can you please spread the info to fellow occupiers and maybe march in solidarity with the teachers on the 30th.

Occupy Edmonton in need of winter provisions |... →
2 Large Tent Stoves and 2 Large Canvas Arctic tents.
One of our biggest needs right now are warm spaces we can use to continue to provide for the food needs of the camp and to retain our 24-hour presence at the site. We are hoping to use one tent as our winter cooking tent. This tent will allow us to continue to feed the occupiers and other vulnerable community members that need support.
